THE ARTIST

​

Marnie Jay is a Territory girl who ventured to the big smoke of Sydney to get a degree in design and illustration. She currently paints in her rural studio 2-3 days a week and has a part time shop at Coolalinga Central four days a week.

 

“Sometimes I wish I could dive into my paintings and stay for a while...if not forever. I imagine it is quiet there, apart from the sounds of nature, quirky bird calls and hauntingly beautiful dingo howls.”

THE ARTWORK

​

Marnie says, "My dingo journey began with a six month old girl cub called Kira. Seven years we hung out. I noticed little things about her that were different from dogs, but it wasn’t until I became involved with The Australian Dingo Foundation that I learnt they are actually an entirely different species".
